TT Sadly your enthusiasm became a threat to those were more worried about keeping their job rather sticking their neck out. This has become the bane of many corporations where the real talent become pigeon holed because middle management see those below them as competitors rather than work colleagues. Sadly it is major problem in many Westernized countries.
And in reality no one knows the work place better is those would actually work on the floor. The David Solution is empowerment to those on work floor with better pay but more responsibility in decision making with a reduction of middle management. Also a bonus of profit share is great motivator to increase productivity. If people have some part in decision making and reap some of the benefits productivity soars.
The David solution principle has empowered people to shape their own destiny. For example Hardluck who is very modest person still lives in first house he bought. Properly rich enough to by half the town and yet he prefers the life of anonymity yet you could pass him in street and not notice. Yet it was this ordinary applied the David solution to the banks empowerment of the little people. Many years ago the Banks in Australia was deregulated. So the big 4 banks wanted to cherry pick the market for corporate directors came and closed nearly 2 and half thousand banks in small country towns. In favour of teller machines at the coast of thousands of jobs and branches in country towns that was life blood of many small settlement. Well turn came to a little ordinary place where hardluck lived.
The bank had sent some snobby executive would look like they never done hard days work in their life. Turn up and stick his nose up in air and you we are not interested in mom and pops accounts and more were are closing your branch down. Not because it was running at a loss but because it was not generating a huge profit. The whole purpose of exercise was reduce costs not create new business, but so the CEO can say look I saved the shareholders money by closing down branches and firing 3000 people employees. From the savings I will get my bonus from. Then I will take off to next company and do the same. And that how it corporate Psychopaths works. It has been ruination of the west for every day person.
For small towns the lost bank can create a terrible flow on effect causing other business to close down. Well Hardluck my friend got together with other small business and Mom and pops and said F You to big banks we will start of own bank! Well of course at first the big 4 Bank laughed and fobbed them of as the local village idiots.....
That's when the David Solution came into play when people empower themselves. Meetings was held and people got together and me and Kanacki with Hardluck put money as well as many others up for a community Bank. The Big Banks my friend were all smug in their corporate offices with their big profits but gave very little in return and under estimated People power. It appear many people thought the same as hardluck and us. At first it was trickle...technically we are a franchised branch of a small country bank and we still have operate under corporate law.We as investors own the profits from our community bank with the provision that a percentage goes back into the local communities. Best investment I ever done my friends. Today my bank franchised branch alone handles 270 million dollars in funds. the profits give the investor a tidy profit with a share going bank into the communities. Such supporting bushfire trucks, surf lifesaving, Areal beach Patrol aircraft. And school and sporting grants.
We have opened a second Branch under our Franchise. in fact we have more teller machines available than most of big banks because we have affiliation with other banks. Today in 10 years Community banks under the banking license of the Bendigo and Adelaide Steamship bank grown to over 3000 franchises creating over 30000 jobs. The flow on effect has been marvelous as small shopping streets have survived mall culture and brought life back in many country towns that otherwise would of died. in collaboration with normal Bendigo and Adelaide Steamship banks we are now the 5th largest bank in Australia with all the Banking services one would expect. They are now looking to repeat the process through Asia pacific. We have a strong criteria for loan based on sound principle. There is no commission broker selling loans to people who cannot afford them. The directorships are only chosen on voluntary basis so no huge corporate directors fees and as a investor I have reaped a very good dividends on share return from the initial investment. You be surprised how well the money in the bank is being managed when its part of its yours.
Well this "David Solution" Slapped Goliath the 4 four banks in the face and their not laughing now.
So ya see empowerment can go along way if its done right.
Another example is kanacki was involved with several interested parties and help establish a bottled water industry in Korsae in Micronesia. It was opearted by voluntary Directors with money funded in part by government ad private enterprise to create local Jobs working on the same principle at grass roots level. the Mineral water is slowly going to china and other countries all started from a dream and by using the basic concept of the David Solution. I believe there is some palces in California ya can by the bottled water now? see the shape of the bottle They stack better into boxes the bottles another innovation from worker input into the product thanks to "David Solution" Empowerment of those who really make the product.
